In the blink of an eye, a month later, news finally came from Prince Shun. The Northern Jin Dynasty sent envoys to Longcheng to discuss the marriage.
"Could it be a trap?" Wei Tian asked worriedly.
Longcheng is located in the southernmost part of Beijin, guarding Zhennanguan. It is the location of Biannan garrison. Most of the people in the city are military households. That is to say, when they arrived here, they were surrounded by the Beijin Army. If it was a trap, they would not be able to escape even if they had wings.
"I don't think so." Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, then continued: "If the marriage is successful, it will be done, and if it is not done, it will not be done. We have to talk about it. Beijin will not want to have a conflict with Da Rong now, but Prince Shun wants to kill him. I don’t dare to disobey the imperial court, and he can’t afford it if it causes a big disaster.”
Qin Feishi nodded in agreement, "And Prince Shun is not a despicable person."
Wei Tian was still worried and wanted to send a team of soldiers to protect Liu Yunxiang.
"If there is really a danger, no matter how many soldiers there are, it will not help. Prince Qing and I will bring Zi Jin and Feng Zheng, and the four of us will go."
Without delay, the four of them set out for Dragon City the next day. However, before they had gone far, the tenth princess caught up with them and insisted on following them. Liu Yunxiang tried to persuade her in vain, so he had no choice but to take her with him.
After coming out of Zhennang Pass, the tenth princess turned around and looked at the pass, and suddenly asked: "Is this where the ninth princess set off for her wedding?"
Mentioning the Ninth Princess, Liu Yunxiang felt sad, "Yes, she was wearing a wedding dress and standing on the tower that day. That scene is still so fresh every time I think about it."
At that time, the Ninth Princess was so beautiful that the whole world was eclipsed.
Remember URL
Although she knew that when she stepped out of here, she would be in a foreign country, and even though she knew that this marriage would be doomed for her, she showed determination and had no regrets.
In the end, she died in Yunjing Lake, in such a tragic way. Da Rong failed her, Beijin harmed her, marriage was a woman's sacrifice, but what she got in exchange may not be worth it.
"My mother told me about the Ninth Princess. She said she was very lucky to have escaped from the palace with me, but unfortunately we couldn't escape after all." At this point, the Tenth Princess smiled and shrugged, "But I'm not afraid, I know kung fu, no one can hurt me."
Liu Yunxiang looked at the tenth princess and felt equally distressed, "If you don't want to, let your seventh brother think of a way."
The marriage was decided by the emperor and related to the alliance between the two countries. If the tenth princess refused, it would indeed make Yan Mu very embarrassed, but she really was not willing to let such a good girl become a victim.
"Oh, Sister-in-law Seven, I'm really not afraid. If that dog emperor dares to bully me, I'll beat him up!" The tenth princess showed her fists as she spoke.
Liu Yunxiang chuckled, but he also remembered this matter. If Beijin agreed to get married, the tenth princess would marry Leng Yuxie. This person was indeed a bit cold-blooded, but he was not despicable and would not bully a girl.
Unless this woman cheated on her, she would end up like the Princess of England.
"He, you will know after you come into contact with him."
He is not a dirty person, and he is certainly not a kind person, but he may not be the same in her eyes as in the eyes of others.
To go to Longcheng, you must first pass through Zhennanguan, where Prince Shun will greet you. They did not go directly to Longcheng. Prince Shun took them to the military camp stationed here first to see their military training, the fortifications they made, and the military pay they stored.
"Princess, if Bei Jin and Darong fight, what are your chances of winning?" Prince Shun said mockingly.
Northern Jin has strong soldiers and strong horses. Since Leng Yuxie came to the throne, it has repeatedly improved its military strength. However, Da Rong has been suffering from internal and external troubles, and its military strength has been weakening day by day. If it were just a battle between the north of Phnom Penh and the north of Da Rong Town, the win or loss would be 50-50, but with the strength of the whole country, Go and fight, Da Rong is definitely no match for Beijin. In fact, Da Rong cannot even defeat Xiyue at the moment.
Prince Shun walked her and Qin Fei around in a circle, so that they could first undermine their confidence and make them consciously lower their posture during negotiations.
Liu Yunxiang's mind changed, and he probably guessed that Beijin might have to put forward excessive conditions in this negotiation.
When it got dark, we finally arrived at the post house in Longcheng.
Yi Cheng held a banquet, but Liu Yunxiang did not attend because he was tired, so Qin Feishi accepted the invitation alone.
Liu Yunxiang was indeed very tired. After all, she was four months pregnant and had been driving for several days. At this time, she just wanted to lie down and rest and have a good sleep.
Zijin brought hot water and helped Liu Yunxiang take a bath, then had a simple dinner and rested.
The place for discussion was located in the front hall of the post house. Early the next morning, Liu Yunxiang dressed up and just walked out of the door when news came from there that they would discuss it tomorrow.
"What happened?" Liu Yunxiang asked.
The Yi Cheng laughed dryly and said, "Last night at the banquet, King Qing drank all our envoys down, and they haven't woken up yet."
The corner of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched. Qin Feishi had a good capacity for drinking, but he was not capable of drinking down six or seven envoys by himself. He was probably playing some trick. In this case, today's discussion between the two parties is over.
"Let's go for a walk on the street." Liu Yunxiang said. They were already out anyway.
Zijin nodded hurriedly, the tenth princess was also going, so Feng Zheng got lazy and said, "Is there anything to see?"
Zijin went up and kicked him, "You've never been to Beijin, have you?"
"oh."
“There are a lot of delicious and fun things to do in Beijin.”
"Not interested in."
"Let's go, I'll treat you to their mutton soup dumplings, they're delicious." As he said this, Zi Jin pulled Feng Zheng up.
Feng Zheng originally refused, but when he saw Zijin holding his hand, he couldn't help but blush, and then followed him unconsciously.
Liu Yunxiang smiled, and then walked out with the tenth princess.
"Sister-in-law Seven has been to Beijin?"
"Well, I stayed here for two years, and it was to save your seventh brother."
As Liu Yunxiang walked, he told the tenth princess what had happened. From when Yan Mu came to Beijin as a hostage to when she found him, he was like a trapped animal, struggling hard. Later, he cooperated with the King of England and helped the King of England ascend the throne, and finally broke free. The cage leaves Beijin.
Speaking of that time, Liu Yunxiang felt very miraculous that they actually escaped.
There is no way out in the mountains and rivers, but there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers.
"So the Emperor of Beijin was grateful that you helped him at that time, so he named you the eldest princess?"
"Well, we are indeed friends in need."
"Then he is a man of his word."
"People, especially people like him, are often very complicated. Based on our friendship, I dare not say that I really understand him."
Zi Jin had already found the bun shop and was offering Feng Zheng a treasure to try.
The Tenth Princess punched Liu Yunxiang's arm and said, "Sister-in-law Seven, someone seems to be following us."
Liu Yunxiang responded calmly, "Don't panic, this is Dragon City, Beijin's territory, and there must be a few pairs of eyes."
"Let's go back to the inn early."
"Um."
After buying steamed buns and shopping for a while, they returned to the inn. After an uneventful day, when it was time to rest at night, the tenth princess was still worried and went to Liu Yunxiang's courtyard in the dark.
She walked very lightly, and as soon as she arrived outside the courtyard, she saw a man in black standing on the wall, staring furtively into the courtyard.
